Patent CA-2472431-C (CA)
Title: Four-stroke engine system
Inventor: KAWAMOTO SHIRO
IPC: F02F7/00
Filed: 2004-06-23
Granted: 2010-09-21
Abstract: A four-stroke engine employs engine vibration for lubricating engine components. The engine vibration induces a ripple in a surface portion of the oil in an oil reservoir, which is located within a crankcase of the engine. The oil ripple causes misting of the oil, which lubricates exposed engine components. Providing a crankcase wall thickness of about 1.5 mm or less can increase the engine vibration. Alternatively, a clearance area located within the crankcase can be decreased to facilitate contact of the oil surface ripple with a counterweight, thereby splashing the oil onto exposed engine components. Vibration of the engine can be further increased by coupling a vibration plate or spring to a portion of the crankcase.

Abstract: A tracking manager, in communication with a status tracking structure and one or more client, provides event information regarding a plurality of objects, received from the status tracking structure, and alert information to the clients. Immediate rules and periodic rules are assessed in light of event information, which rules are stored in a rule storage component such that any of the rules may be modified independently of a rule execution component within the tracking manager. When the conditions defining any of the business rules are met, alert events are generated, stored and provided to the clients.  Additionally, a map control operating in the clients allows selected portions of the event information to be provided to the clients. A data structure corresponding to a map schema is provided such that specialized map images may be readily provided and associated with each other.

Abstract: A method for monitoring a high-resistivity reservoir rock formation (2) below one or more less resistive formations (3), comprising the following steps:  Transmitting an electromagnetic signal (S) propagating from near a seafloor or land surface (1) by means of an electromagnetic transmitter (5) powered by a voltage signal generator (G). The electromagnetic signal (S) propagates from the seafloor (1) and is guided along a conductive string (7) to the high-resistive formation (2), and propagates as a guided-wave electromagnetic signal (S2) at a relatively higher speed (V2) inside the high-resistivity formation (2) than a propagation speed (V3) in the less resistive formations (3). The guided-wave electromagnetic signal (S2) gives rise to an upward refracting electromagnetic signal (R3) having the relatively lower propagation speed (V3) in the less resistive formations (3) and having an exit angle nearer to the normal N to the interface between said high-resistivity formation (2) and the lower-resistivity formation (3), and gives rise to a steeply rising refraction wave front (F3). The refracted electromagnetic wave front (F3) comprising refracted electromagnetic signals (R3) is detected along an array of sensor antennas (6a, 6b, 6c, ..., 6k, ..., 6n) along the seafloor, the array having a direction away from the transmitter (5). In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the electromagnetic transmitter (5) comprises an antenna (50) transmitting the electromagnetic signal (S) to an upper end (70 U) of an electrically conductive string (7), e.g. a steel casing or liner, the upper end (70 U) being arranged near said seafloor (1).

Abstract: With this bolted fastener illustrated in the exploded view, a bracket (7) is fastened to a crosspiece (11). Arranged horizontally in the crosspiece (11) are a crosswise oblong hole (12) and a lengthwise oblong hole (12). The square neck (9.1) of the bolt (9) fits into the oblong hole (12) and prevents the bolt (9) from turning. The bracket (7) has lugs (7.1) that serve to center the bracket (7) on the crosspiece (11). Also provided in the bracket (7) are receptacle holes (7.2). The diameter of the eccentrics (8) that serve as wedging means fits the slightly larger diameter of the receptacle holes (7.2) and the eccentrics (8) fit into the receptacle holes (7.2). When the nut (10) is screwed on, the eccentric (8) rotates about the bolt (9) and on account of its eccentricity wedges itself into the receptacle hole (7.2). The wedged eccentric (8) prevents accidental loosening or accidental unscrewing of the nut (10).

Abstract: Pour une transmission à redondance incrémentale (IR) dans un système MIMO, un émetteur traite (par exemple, code, sépare, entrelace et module) un paquet de données en se basant sur une cadence sélectionnée, en vue d'obtenir des blocs symboles de données multiples. L'émetteur transmet un bloc symboles de données à un moment déterminé jusqu'à ce qu'un récepteur récupère correctement le paquet de données, ou que tous les blocs soient transmis. Chaque fois qu'un bloc symboles de données est reçu de l'émetteur, le récepteur détecte un bloc symbole reçu pour obtenir un bloc symbole détecté, traite (par exemple, démodule, désentrelace, ré-assemble et décode) tous les blocs symboles détectés, obtenus pour le paquet de données, et fournit un paquet décodé. Si le paquet décodé est erroné, le récepteur répète le traitement lorsqu'un autre bloc symboles de données est reçu pour le paquet de données. Le récepteur peut également effectuer une détection et un décodage itératifs sur les blocs symboles reçus pour le paquet de données, plusieurs fois, de manière à obtenir le paquet décodé.
